Correct answer

C. 6

Step-by-step solution

Net reactance: X=XC−XL=150−70=80ΩX = X_C - X_L = 150 - 70 = 80Ω.
Impedance: Z=R2+X2=602+802=10000=100ΩZ = \sqrt{R^2 + X^2} = \sqrt{60^2 + 80^2} = \sqrt{10000} = 100Ω.
Power factor: cos⁡ϕ=R/Z=60/100=0.6\cos\phi = R/Z = 60/100 = 0.6.
Since power factor is α/10\alpha/10, we have 0.6=α/100.6 = \alpha/10, so α=6\alpha = 6
